I tried out the vamp embrace idea last night, and you're right, it works pretty well. Ragnaros just seemed so big and far away that I was always convinced that he was too far away for Mind Flay, and yet I could hit him from almost anywhere along the lip of the outer ring. My raid leader was a little hesitant to have me be responsible for healing a group of melee dps, but since we had a really wierd raid makeup last night -- 12 priests and 12 mages?! -- he relented. I think he told someone else to watch my group just in case, though. :-)
Anyway, yeah, I didn't have any problems keeping the melee dps folks up, but I ran out of mana about 30 seconds before the sons. However, I think I could afford to reduce my +damage/healing a little bit to boost my mana pool. My PvP configuration is designed for maximum +damage/healing and stamina and has mana as almost an afterthought, so that's not surprising.
I had fun, though, so thanks for the idea. Too bad that in a week or two, I'll be holy/disc again!
